As always - excellent! We may pay more for the work these guys do but when you have a company that doesn't try to 'up-sell' you and works with you around an annual budget to tackle electrical changes / upgrades - they are well worth the investment! Thanks again!

Randy's Electric took advantage of my elderly mother! My mother just spent 5 weeks in the hospital on life support. When she was released and arrived home she was experiencing problems with her electricity in her kitchen and bathroom the lights were flickering and then the power went out. She called and scheduled an electrician with Randys electric to come out and fix the problem. When the electrician arrived the next day he started scaring the **** out of her telling her it could be a major problem and cost as much as $18,000 to rewire her entire condo (Its 1 level and 950 square feet). He also said the problem could be the circuit breaker panel that needed to be replaced and that would cost her $14,000. He then said that if he performed a circuit restoration and replaced 4 power outlets, replaced 2 other power outlets in kitchen with GFCI outlets, replaced the 2 light switches in the bathroom, replaced the chandelier in the dining room with a led recessed light and replaced the 2 florescent tube light fixtures in the kitchen with two 2x2 led light panels. He said he was confident it would fix her problem. He then told her that it would only cost her $3,300 to do (Made it sound like a bargain after the other 2 prices he gave her). She then said she can't afford that and he told her not to worry because they have a 1 year interest free financing plan. She wasn't happy but felt it was the cheapest option of the options he gave her so she reluctantly agreed to do it. He spent 5-6 hours there and he left. 2 days later her lights began to flicker and the power in the kitchen and bathroom went out again. When she told me what happened I called Randys irate! The lady on the phone took my info and said she would have the manager call me. 2 hours later I get a call from the electrician trying to convince me he dint screw over my mother. I told him to have his manager call me. Needless to say no one has tried to call me since. We called another electrician contractor (no way we were calling Randys again). They arrived within 2 hours. When he got there I explained to him the entire situation and he went to the circuit breaker panel. Within 5 minutes he said your problem is the outside power coming into her condo. He went outside and within another 5 minutes found that a dual 100 amp breaker was the problem. He was there for around an hour and charged less than $150 to fix the problem once and for all. I then showed him the work Randys did and asked him how much they would charge. He said about $700-800 total not $3,300. I also asked him what they would charge if she needed a new circuit breaker panel and he said $1,200 at the most not $14,000 like Randys quoted. He said in all his years he has never seen someone get it so wrong. I question if the guy from Randys is even an electrician. Where did he get his license? A cracker jack box?? Randys electric is by far the worst and the most cold hearted company I have ever heard of. The electrician (thats questionable) knew that my mom just got out of the hospital (she almost died) and all he was concerned with is screwing her out of money and up-selling her. He's probably on a commission and sold her crap she didn't need or even want. Randy's Electric should be ashamed of themselves. I don't know how they sleep at night!!! Below is a pic of the breaker the (real electrician) replaced. Look at the rust and corrosion.
Response from Randy's Electric & Plumbing
"Wow! Your mom sure is lucky to have a son looking out for her the way you do. We saw you posted this review on Yelp, Facebook, and Google as well and wanted to respond here too. We will have to agree to disagree with your assessment of the options and the pricing as the numbers you provided do not reflect the numbers and options we provided. We're happy the problem she was having has been fixed."

Tom told it like it was, given the house is 100-years old & the circuit breaker panel is at least 40-years old. He gave us options & helped to make decisions for now & in the future. We are confident Tom did not mislead us in any way. Thank you for getting our electricity/heat up & running when it was a bone-chilling -20°F outside! We will be in touch to complete "phase II" when it's a bit warmer.

Matt was on time and very professional. He gave me a couple options for execution and explained price and complexity impacts. He also helped me adjust the camera and lights to fully cover the back yard and garage. The only negative I have is that it cost a little more than anticipated. Would definitely use Randy again though.
Response from Randy's Electric & Plumbing
"Thank you for the "A" rating! You're right, our licensed electricians are professional. We are thrilled that Matt provided great work and articulated the electrical needs for your home. We also like to be a blessing whenever possible. Thanks again!"

Coordinating and scheduling was easy. The office set up everything and called to confirm. Mike the electrician was on time professional and gave me a clear cost estimate for the work. I agreed with th ed price and Mike went to work. Even in the bitter cold he was pleasant and efficient. The work was completed as agreed and met my expectations. I will use Randys Electric again!

1/2 the house is without power and needed someone to come out tomorrow to look at it and give me an estimate. Because 'tomorrow' was classified as too quick for them, they could do it but told me it would be a $199 "trip charge." So they were available and had time to do this but thought they should charge me for this. Horrible policy. I hung up and will go elsewhere.
Response from Randy's Electric & Plumbing
"Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry we could not get to you the next day. We had a full schedule that day and in order to respond to an emergency, we have to rearrange our full schedule or the licensed electrician has to work overtime to respond to the emergency. This is standard procedure in the industry, and our earnest intention is to take care of our customers already on the schedule but also help those who call in with an emergency situation. Again, we apologize that you were less than satisfied."

Used Angie's online to request an estimate and heard from Randy's in minutes. Scheduled a time for estimate and it was within a week. Mike was on time, very knowledgeable providing answers to questions and making suggestions for improved project. Gave me two options at the end of our discussion/walk around and a firm start date. I would have hired them with confidence but another contractor was substantially under their two bids. If I have need of an electrician again, Randy's will be among the bidders.
Response from Randy's Electric & Plumbing
"Thank you for the positive and thoughtful review. We are pleased you were happy with Mike and the overall experience. We would be honored to be your electrician of choice in the future. Thanks again"

Response from Randy's Electric & Plumbing
"Thank you for the feedback. Our intention is to delight you with the 3 ceiling fans and the hallway light. Additionally, we do present the estimate so you can choose whether you would like to go forward with the work. We set a high standard for ourselves and are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with our business."

The gentleman from Randy's came out and did the panel replacement quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, the inspector failed the installation immediately due to the location of the panel. The Randy's representative said they inquired about the location of the panel with another inspector, but should have checked with the inspector assigned to our geographic location. Randy's then tried to charge us to make the repair because they failed the inspection--not fair.

It was an awful experience. Electrican showed up and wanted to tour my house and look for other services he could perform in the house and proceeded to give me an over inflated estimate for things that had nothing to do with why I called them. Very disappointed that his sole reason for coming was to up sell me. I had no work done and they still charged me a trip charge of $59. His estimate for the service I needed done was $577. I called another company on my own and they performed the work for $140. Very disappointed and surprised they were on Angie’s list.
Response from Randy's Electric & Plumbing
"Thank you for your review. We are so sorry that you had an awful experience and your expectations were not met. Our licensed electricians are trained to notice things in the home that are not up to code or safety issues, such as smoke detectors, outlets that appear black or burned etc. We also offer several estimate options, and they are purely options, allowing you to choose if you would like to go ahead with additional electrical work. Together with this, our workmanship is covered by a lifetime warranty. The trip charge is standard, and we tell our customers about this charge when they make the appointment. Please accept our apology for leaving you feeling far less than satisfied and very disappointed."
